republican dan newhouse 's inappropriate behavior by a senior member of their team actually led to ant year. the suspected employee himself, however , still denies that he took part in the filming of gay porn in the building of the american parliament. however, the fact remains: a year ago, a sex video filmed on the walls of the capitol circulated online. one of them appears to be a man, judging by the standard ones. however, after this sex video appeared online, congressmen newhouse was not immediately visible within the walls of the american parliament, and reported that one of these men was most likely a member of his team. i'm horrified, this is simply not necessary. this is a perversion. in the end, you could just rent a hotel room or... parties for transgender gays and lesbians. at this rate, all of washington will soon turn into a huge gay brothel. a monotonous farce, though not an inclusive russophobic in british politics, the leader of the labor party and keir starmer, whom many predict will be the post-prime minister, behaves like lisa thrus, the record holder of british his

newhouse immediately reported that one of the men was most likely a member of his team.ly not necessary. this is a perversion. after all, you could just rent a hotel room or go to the toilet to do this. why does such a person even have access to one? historical building, why didn't anyone notice this? it turns out that in washington, not only the cars in biden’s motorcade are rear-wheel drive. they told us democrats that the government shouldn't interfere into bed for the citizens, and now it turns out that they have turned the government into this very bed, for me this is much worse than the events of january 6th. final press conferences of the russian ukrainian president. the publication notes that the russian army successfully stopped the counter-offensive in the ukrainian armed forces and forced ukrainian militants to go on the defensive. at the same time, putin announced that russia would increase its military budget by 70%, to a record amount of $157 billion since the end of the cold war. zelensky, however, cannot get money from his sponsors, and washington and bru

newhouse: the biden administration has failed to secure our border and has allowed historic levels of illegal migrant crossings. now they have decided to house migrants on america's public lands. this is unacceptable. our national parks should serve as areas of recreation for americans to enjoy. our lands are being used as a backup plan for housing migrants because of a failure to secure the border and refusal to work with congress to find commonsense solutions. as chairman of the western caucus and member of the homeland security subcommittee on appropriations, i am proud to support this legislation to ensure america's public lands serve the american people, their interests and to prevent the use, misuse of our national parks. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time the gentleman from arkansas. mr. westerman: i reserve. the chair: the gentleman from arizona? mr. grijalva: reserve. the chair: the gentleman from arkansas. mr. westerman: i yield to idaho. mr. fulcher: this is due to biden's station to secure our southern border. 6.4 million illegal imm

there are a number of remarkable thinkers and and there have been talks on them this week in father newhouseu know, there are people who can stop reading c.s. lewis and those who can't. and the latter are eventually thought to be lewis scholars. and so in my own life, i know there's i'm always got something by lewis, but then i'm just consistently impressed with his insights here, there and everywhere there are some things i think he got wrong, which is a different talk, but most part i think he's remarkable and i think that's because he lived through languages and books and in the different epochs and eras. he was able to read. you know, he said he sometimes found himself thinking in greek for those of you who know another language, you to the point where, you know, when you if you were an american, you wake up his writing and you think he'll play, you know, you know french, if that's what comes. he's what he this was inhabited those things and then he also you know he lived a life at oxford that was kind of the protestant version of a monastery. right. he wasn't married every night to dinn

newhouse: mr. speaker, today i rise to recognize gary peterson, a dedicated leader hailing from the tricities who tragically lost his battle with cancer the past month. it saddens me rather than announcing his next greatest achievement i am here to mourn his passing. gary was known throughout central washington, the united states capitol, and the department of energy as a fierce advocate for the interests of the tricities. his leadership in our communities proved fruitful for decades, sparking both economic development and innovation for the citizens of central washington. his advocacy for the hanford cleanup mission has been the cornerstone of the success of our region. and i am in awe of the impact he has made over the years. his immense knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of our community's priorities was matched by so few and i have no doubt his name will go down in history with the names of people like sam and bob. gary's legacy includes leading advocacy for the pacific northwest national lab

newhouse: mr. speaker, this holiday season many parents in washington's 4th congressional district and across the nation will struckle to afford a special holiday meal for their family or buy presents for their children. the hard truth is under the president's self-proclaimed bidenomics agenda, we have seen trillions spent causing inflation to skyrocket to a 40-year high. americans today are still struggling to afford the everyday expenses because families are spending over 11,000 more this year than last to purchase the same basic goods. mr. speaker, this congress we have been working to rein in the out-of-control spending that this administration promotes and pursues. over the summer house republicans successfully passed the fiscal responsibility act to restore sanity, limit inflation, and spending. lift americans out of poverty. but there is more work to be done. as a member of the house appropriations committee, i'm proud of our efforts in mitigating the damage by big government spending and re
